More Musings on the eve of New Year's Eve

I really have a lot on my mind at present, and there a lot of things that I would like to discuss that I feel are of real importance; but right now I'm just too tired and need to laugh. In fact, we all need to laugh; and I think that the best source of generating this laughter is the one and only Dave Barry. If you have not heard of this guy (I'm sure some of you have), then let me introduce him to you. I'm sure once you get a taste of him, you will continually come back and want more and more of him. Here are just a couple of tidbits from his latest columns:

Got rig envy? Try Viagra
DAVE BARRY

"You try to ignore these commercials. You tell yourself you don't need this product. But then you remember all those nights when, after a long day, you went into the bedroom, and your wife wanted you to -- in fact, practically begged you to -- throw the football through the tire. But you were ''too tired.''

and:

"Also in your imagination there are pickup-drivin' guys outside the doctor's office, workin' on some kind of rig. As you drive up in your Camry, they give you noogies through your moonroof."

and, of course, you must read this one:

Feeling sick? Blame your computer!
DAVE BARRY

"Because modern cyberspace is not the friendly, open, trusting, safe place it was back in February. Modern cyberspace is a deadly festering swamp, teeming with dangerous programs such as ''viruses,'' ''worms,'' ''Trojan horses'' and ''licensed Microsoft software'' that can take over your computer and render it useless."

Take it easy and enjoy some life while we have it. Happy New Year everyone...
